I am anything but a Karajan fan. However...Try his Sibelius 4th on DG -- the first recording I bought, and still my favorite over treasured versions of it by Ashkenazy, Colin Davis,Blomstedt, and others. Karajan more than any other always makes me feel like I'm out on the tundra near dusk, having just lost the love of my life, and yet with all that, that life is still very much worth living -- which I think the opening bars of the Sibelius 4th are supposed to make you feel.
